Re[2]: Help file

2000-08-20 Thread Istvn Szendr

Hi Paula,

PF I did not say that I was going to write the english version of the Help
PF file.

I may have misunderstood a posting (I forget  whose) that seemed to
imply you would.

PF I'd love to help out, but it's a big job and I don't have the
PF time. I may have said that I would polish it if that would help, but I
PF personally think Help files are better written by professionals and that
PF RIT should look into contracting with a professional technical writer.

Sure, I agree. A good Help is the single major obstacle to selling the
product to mainstream users.

Re: Internal Mail for Office

2000-08-20 Thread Marck D. Pearlstone

Hash: SHA1

Hi Jason,

On 18 August 2000 at 09:46:04 GMT -0400 (which was 14:46 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Internal Mail for Office":

J   Is this possible?

It seems so.

J I would like to use the bat for an internal mail system, on a
J Novell Netware server. I would like the entire office to be able to
J use one installed copy of the bat with their own mail being stored
J in private directories.

This should work.

J (a fleeting thought!, how will this work with local delivery? If
J the bat cannot get to the other directories?)

By using the POP/SMTP server theorised below.

J From what I have read, there needs to be one copy of the bat setup
J as the server, so this means it needs to be running all the time.
J There is no place to do this.

There  has  to  a  server  in  this scenario /somewhere/ - if not a TB
server  then  a standard SMTP/POP or IMAP server (bearing in mind that
IMAP doesn't /quite/ work as it should for optimum performance).

J The G:\ drive is common for everyone, the executable could go
J there. The U:\ drive is a mapped drive letter to a personal
J directory, this is where the mail directory should be. U:\ maps to
J the login name so U:\ is the same no matter which PC you log in fr
J name so U:\ is the same no matter which PC you log in from.

Nothing  wrong with this *except* that the TB settings are held in the
registry and you would need a different Windows logon for each user to
ensure  a  keep  personalisation  for each specific user. Using the U:
mapping  for  the base mail folder will make sure that the mail itself
follows each user to their seat.

J The only thing I can think of is to install a POP/SMTP server on
J the Netware server. Am I right?

Yes. I don't know what is available for this. There are plenty for NT.
Netware is not my zone.

J Also, How would I lock down the settings on the installed copy of
J TheBat! at each workstation so I can guarantee that the interface
J will be the same no matter where you sit.

No  can  do  because of the registry thing. You can put each copy into
"administrated" mode using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/ keystroke.

J Any guidance would be appreciated, Also, one more factor: The
J supervisor (using the bat) needs to be able to get mail from the
J outside world and forward it to the inside world. :)

That could probably done with a (fairly) complex filter set.

Re[2]: Threading not always correct?

Hi Marck,

on Sat, 19 Aug 2000 19:54:45 +0100 GMT
your local time, which was 19.08.2000, 20:54:45 (GMT+0200) my local time,
you wrote about "Threading not always correct?":

snip

MDP The  explanation  runs  as follows: every message is assigned a unique
MDP Id.  For  instance,  the  message  you  just sent has the following id
MDP [EMAIL PROTECTED]   My  reply  includes  the  header
MDP "In-reply-To:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and this Id is also
MDP added to the end of the string of Ids in the "References" header.

MDP TB uses References and In-reply-To to calculate any message's position
MDP in the threading hierarchy.

snip

FWIW,

I would like to add that the In_Reply_To-ID is omitted by some mail clients
(like M$ Echange and older M$ Outlook Versions 4.xxx; may be there are more
clients). AFAIK this could result in incorrect threading in TB!

Hi katsmeow,

On 20 August 2000 at 01:01:11 GMT -0500 (which was 07:01 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Template question -- replies":

 The  string %TO=""%TO="""%OFROMNAME"" %OFROMADDR" will do the job
 for  you.  You can place this in a Quick template (call it "TT" for
 the  sake  of  this  example)  to  try  it  out.  You  can then use
 %QINCLUDE="TT"  in a normal template whenever you want to employ it
 and never have to re-write it.

kinc Thanks now a couple of more.

kinc ... what do I use as a quick template to change the particular
kinc message to go to the list?

Define a Quick Template called TR as follows:

%TO=""%TO="""%OREPLYNAME"" %OREPLYADDR"

kinc And also the converse. I am on a couple of lists where the
kinc default is to send messages to the individual. Of course, I know
kinc I can hit reply all and the reply will go to the individual and
kinc to the list. Is there a way to send up a template whereby the
kinc replies automatically (or by use of a quick template inserted in
kinc the reply) goes only to the list and not the individual?

Well,  by  now  (if  you  have followed my instructions) you should be
armed  with  two  QTs  - TT and TR so, switching is a matter of typing
on-the-fly, in the body of the message, TTCtrl+Space to change the
"To"  to  be  that  of  the  message originator or TRCtrl+Space to
re-redirect  the  message  to  the  list. Your templates for the basic
replies should specify %QINCLUDE="TR" and %QINCLUDE="TT" respectively.

Re: Template question -- replies

Hello Katsmeow,


On  Saturday, August 19, 2000  at  20:38:29 GMT -0500 (which was 6:38 PM
where I live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed:

 Hi

 I posted this the other day and got no replies so will try again with
 it somewhat reworded in case the query was not clear.

 I subscribe to a number of mailing lists such as this list where the
 default is for replies to messages to go to the list address.  On a
 couple of these lists, I never (or very rarely) want my reply to go
 the list. Instead, I want the replies to go only to the individual who
 posted the message. Is there any sort of macro I can place in my reply
 template so that the reply is automatically sent to the individual who
 posted the message and not to the list?

 If not (or also), is there any way to insert a quick template in the
 reply as you are writing it to achieve this same purpose?

 Marck D. Pearlstone replied to you on
 Fri, 18 Aug 2000  16:45:11  (Sat, 19 Aug 2000 00:45:11 +0100)
 Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Marck's Message Snippet

Hmm.  I  use Ctrl-F4 to write to the author instead of the originating
list. Perhaps it is a matter of getting used to doing that. OTOH there
are  a number of variants of %REPLYADDR and %OREPLYADDR and %OFRAMADDR
that may do what you're looking for.

End Marck's Message Snippet

 So as Marck said, you can use Ctrl-F4 to do exactly what you want, or
 you can put the following lines into your template.

%TO=""%To="%OFROMADDR"

 The first %To="" will clear the list address from the To line, and
 the second one puts in the original senders address.

Does the Netware system have a log on script?  How about a log off
script?  I was thinking that if you do have these capabilities, just
have your log off script copy the Registry keys into a reg file stored
in the user's mail directory.  Then when they log on, have that reg
file incorporated into the current workstations registry.  I don't
know if this would work in practice, but it might be worth a shot.
